Ryan Brasier of Chicago Cubs Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Groin Strain, Expected Return in Late May

Ryan Brasier's current season stats show he has appeared in one game, pitching one inning with an ERA of 9.00 and a WHIP of 3.00. He recorded one strikeout and one walk in that appearance. His absence will affect the bullpen, with players like Julian Merryweather and Caleb Thielbar potentially seeing more time on the mound.

The Cubs are set to play the Cincinnati Reds on May 23, 2025, at the Great American Ball Park. Brasier's injury leaves a gap in the relief pitching options for this game. The team may need to rely on other relievers to fill his role until his return in late May.
